With the end of another school year approaching, students are worried now more than ever about the next step. Some graduating students may be wondering where they’re going to go from here and, more importantly, how they’re going to pay for it. For some students, Lucy Gent Foma, a Transportation Scholar from Santa Fe, has the answer. Foma is the author of “Funded! How I leveraged my passion to live a fulfilling life and how you can too!” which is scheduled for release on May 16.
“Maybe that explains why I feel electrocuted when somebody touches me without my consent.

I love living naked at home and nearly naked elsewhere, when I am warm enough. Most humans are the only animals who feel ashamed of their naked bodies and feel compelled to cover their genitals.

All decent, peace loving Americans should be proud of the recent trip by Republican Sen. Dick Black to Syria. During his visit, the Virginia Republican met with the legitimate and democratically elected Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and urged the West to help Syria in it's fight against ISIS terrorists.

Saturday’s 7-4 loss to ASU guaranteed their first series loss since UNM played Dallas Baptist in early March. Despite the loss, senior right hander Taylor Duree joined the UNM record books with his 76th career appearance, more than any other pitcher in New Mexico history.
